Finally the decision has been made.

9.1 is low for that cam,IMO
At your stated ~7.5 Dcr the cranking pressure is likely to be about 145psi,but it's a slow-ramp comp, so who knows what the pressure will truly be.
The A999 will be a welcome relief, as the starter TM climbs to 7.56. That's gonna be a big help.

I ran mine at 10.9Scr @185psi. (aluminum heads). That made it a dump-the-clutch deal with a starter gear of 9.44;my favorite iteration. I loved that cam. I was very sad when the lobes starting falling off it.

WHO CARES? IT'S A FLIPPIN STREET MOTOR. GAWD guy, give it a rest, already. He's buildin a STREET CAR. He doesn't care about every last drop of compression before detonation. He wants to have FUN. How bout you back off for once and let somebody HAVE FUN, ok? The world doesn't revolve around YOUR WANTS.
